They also have a good selection of cheeses in an indoor, air conditioned room.

If you can’t find any port there try the wine shop in hotel Tikar, Sean-is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Never thought of cheese but of course port and cheese will be a brilliant present

The garage near Iceland at Vera sells their own olive oil and honey.  There is also a shop in Huercal Overa.  It is on the roundabout near to the Spanish property choice shop.  They sell a variety of gourmet and local products.

Our 90 days conclude at the end of the month (we’ll be back) so I’m starting to think about what to take back to UK.  To be honest, though, I haven’t really got to grips with good shopping in Mojacar, Garrucha and Vera so I would really appreciate any local advice.

I want to stock up with good olive oil, good olives, good balsamic vinegar.  Any suggestions for a good shop and/or any brands you might recommend....

...

Where do I buy local herbs and spices? I want some smoked paprika but what else should I get here?

I need a dish for cooking paella.

I want to buy a friend some Port.  Sadly I’m not going to Portugal so wonder if there is a good brand selling in Spain and where could I buy it?

Is there a good pottery outlet in the area.  I also like buying tiles

My list is actually pretty endless but I think these requests are enough for the time being. Thank you for any suggestions you might have

Best wishes

Good fresh herbs are very widely available in the UK. Spanish salted almonds are delicious, olive oil is really special and there is no limit , unlike alcohol...  Check the regulations before importing fresh unpackaged food.
